He got the wealth he wanted, but lost the woman he loved.

If someone used all their wealth in exchange for a piece of your mutual love, how would you choose?

Liu Song is a painter, a complete grassroots painter. You have to budget carefully down to every meal, for fear of overspending each month. If you overspend, you will face the dire consequences of starving yourself of food.

He rented a cheap warehouse, and he still felt a little bit superior to those who lived in the basement, but this place, which was like a pig's nest, was worth the money she gave him. He brought it.

Liu Song had just graduated from college and had nothing except the paintings he had made over the years and the dreams in his head. But God still left a window for this boy with dreams, a beautiful girlfriend-Suru.

Suru is a local with a good family background. She is a college classmate with Liu Song. When she was a freshman, she was deeply attracted by this maverick classmate. Dressed slovenly, with colorful jeans and messy hair, he looks like a rebellious, non-mainstream young man.

But Liu Song was still talented. Once, her teacher asked her to be a mannequin for the department. She, who was always generous, readily agreed and lay lazily on the chair, using the posture she felt most comfortable with. Let the students below draw.

Those male students felt very excited when they saw the dignified and elegant school beauty sitting there quietly for them to draw. Each and every one of them tried their best to show off their truest strength to win the favor of beauties.

After class, Suru reviewed the works with her teacher, and she immediately fell in love with Liu Song’s paintings among hundreds of copied portraits. She didn't know why, but she felt that his paintings had a flavor that others didn't have. She couldn't explain it clearly, but she could definitely feel the other person's emotions from the paintings.

From then on, she began to pay attention to Liu Song intentionally or unintentionally. Curiosity can kill a cat, and a girl's curiosity about a boy is often the beginning of a love relationship.

Both of them are at the age when they are in love, and the smell of throbbing youthful hormones can be smelled in the air.

In the second semester of their freshman year, the two came together. But in the eyes of others, the goddess-like Suru and a strange man became a couple, just like a flower stuck in cow dung. The two of them didn't care about the rumors at all and were completely immersed in their world.

In the following years of their relationship, Suru showed her selfless and considerate side.

Liu Song’s family background is not very good. Both his parents are ordinary workers. In fact, according to the family’s wishes, he was originally planning to enroll in a science major so that after graduation he could find a company and receive a real salary.

But when Liu Song filled out his application, he chose the art academy where he was currently studying without hesitation. His father was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. His mother also had a big fight with him, and even limited his monthly living expenses in order to make him submit. It can be said that Liu Song lived in quite an embarrassment during college.

When she was Liu Song’s girlfriend, other lovers were having a romantic affair and squandering her parents’ hard-earned money. These two young lovers are like a couple who are careful about their budget. They save whatever they can in life. Even so, most of the expenses are still paid by Suru.

But the more emotional and spiritual exchanges between the two people are actually all in the paintings. Their understanding and pursuit of art have made the man and woman identify with and move each other in their hearts countless times.

After graduating from college, Suru could not withstand the pressure from her family and could only temporarily give up the pursuit of her dreams and live a nine-to-five life in a foreign-funded company arranged by her father. Liu Song cheered, no matter how the world changes, she will stay by his side without hesitation and always support him in pursuing his dreams!

One Sunday morning, Liu Song went to the antique market in the western suburbs of the city to set up a stall and sell paintings as usual. In recent years, with the popularity of calligraphy and painting collections, the market has improved a lot, especially for calligraphy and painting of certain years. It is not an exaggeration to say that a word of calligraphy and painting is worth a fortune. Therefore, every weekend, there are many tourists, collectors, and people setting up stalls.

But Liu Song’s business is not easy to do. This is also obvious. Who would buy a painting by a fledgling college student? Even if he is a speculator, he will have to wait until the painter is almost dead before selling. Although Liu Song had been overworking his brain for a long time, was malnourished, and had no color on his face, it was certain that he would live for twenty or thirty years at least.

There were also many people who came to his stall to look at the paintings. Liu Song sat on the canvas without even raising his eyelids. He knew in his heart that there was only one real regular customer, a foreign trade company owner surnamed Wang, who would come every week for several days and spend a lot of money. It was only because of this person that he could survive until now.

Strange to say, the meeting between the two was really strange. It was also a Sunday morning two months ago. Liu Song had just come here to set up a stall a few days ago. Many people who passed by made sarcastic remarks, but no one bought any paintings. Just when he was about to close the stall, a middle-aged boss in a suit and leather shoes approached him enthusiastically and asked him which school he graduated from.

Liu Song was confused but still answered him truthfully. Unexpectedly, this fat and greasy uncle rubbed his hands in excitement, opened his mouth and pointed at his paintings and said he wanted them all! Liu Song was a little confused for a moment, but he packed the bag and stuffed it into the man's car quickly. When he finally left, the boss asked him to explain how to appreciate these paintings!

Customers are God. Liu Song regarded him as a nouveau riche who used calligraphy and painting to show off his appearance, and told him some general academic terms. Boss Wang nodded when he heard this, and was still stiff when he left. Give him a postcard and say that if the results are good, you will buy paintings from him next time!

Looking at the business card, the boss’s name is Wang Fugui. True to his name, he is the boss of a foreign trade company. You can tell by looking at his car worth more than 2 million yuan that he has some money.

Taking his first labor income, Liu Song couldn’t wait to call Su Ru, and found a relatively good restaurant to rub it hard. He also told her about it while eating. Ru smiled lightly and said nothing, but praised him for being lucky to meet a rich man! Liu Song looked at his girlfriend with picturesque features and felt endless sweetness in his heart!

In the next few weeks, Boss Wang will almost always buy paintings. In his words, he comes here to receive the influence of art. Liu Song is not a fool. He just thinks that he is talking nonsense. If someone buys it, he will sell it. Why do you think so much?

About ten o'clock, Mr. Wang arrived unexpectedly. The two greeted each other like old acquaintances. Liu Song found that the other party was not in a good mood, so he wanted to ask him what was going on recently.

Mr. Wang didn’t intend to say anything at first, but firstly, he had something stuck in his heart that he couldn’t express, and secondly, he couldn’t stand Liu Song’s insistence, so the chat box was opened, and Liu Song quickly took out another Mazha asked him to sit down.

It turns out that Wang Fugui also came from a poor family. Eight generations of his family have been poor farmers. He went out to work before graduating from junior high school. Traveling all over the country for so many years, I have done everything and suffered a lot. Later, China joined the WTO, and a large number of businessmen went global. He also followed the trend and went out for a while. Maybe current events created people, and by accident, he now has a considerable net worth.

He just wanted to flirt with women when he had a little money in his hand. Recently, he said that once during morning exercise, he saw a girl about the same age as Liu Song, carrying a garbage bag with bulging bags inside. Come out and take out the trash.

The girl’s tall figure, delicate appearance, and autumn-like eyes accidentally looked at Lao Wang. When Wang Fugui saw those eyes, he felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer. For a moment, I couldn't even breathe.

At this moment, Mr. Wang felt that he had fallen in love. At the same time, he compared the lovers around him in his mind, and suddenly felt boring. All the rouge and vulgar fans were trash in front of the girl just now.

Since that morning, Wang Fugui, who occasionally did morning exercises, had been waiting in front of the trash can early every day, just waiting for the girl to appear.

Girls don’t appear every day, but they definitely appear every two or three days. He also licked his face and approached her, but the girl didn’t even look at him seriously.

Feeling infinitely disappointed, he thought of the garbage thrown by the girl, which was not too dirty. He pulled out the garbage bag, hoping to find some breakthrough, but he saw that the black garbage bag was full of lumps of trash. Paper.

He carefully opened them one by one and found that they were all scraps of manuscript paper. But for him, a self-made upstart, he had no clue what he was doing. Paintings were just decorations for him!

In this way, he came to the antique market to buy paintings by chance and met the young painter Liu Song.

After knowing all this, Liu Song began to teach Mr. Wang some basic knowledge of calligraphy and painting in order to retain this financial backer. Wang Fugui always studied every word Liu Song taught him seriously as a student.

Then in the morning, I would stand by the trash can, eagerly awaiting her arrival. When the girl appeared, I would continue to strike up a conversation, always using some professional knowledge intentionally or unintentionally when chatting.

The girl went from ignoring him at first to looking at him with special eyes. Finally, when she saw the painting that Lao Wang gave her, she actually gave him a sweet smile for the first time.

The girl became friends with this cute, fat uncle. Wang Fugui was grateful to Liu Song for helping him, and became a close friend with him, both as a teacher and as a friend.

But Lao Wang, who has been in love for a long time, knows that the girl's relationship with him will stop here. Money does not seem to be very attractive to this special girl, so these days, Liu will be asked out even if it is not Sunday. Let's drink wine together. Once when he was drunk and sad, he said to Liu Song: "If anyone can help me have this girl, I will give him all my wealth. It doesn't matter!"

The speaker has no intention of listening, but the listener has a heart. , Liu Song kept these words in his heart. In fact, he has a way to help this wealthy man.

But this is a secret, a secret that has been hidden in my heart for many years.

Going back to his home, he locked the door shut and closed the curtains tightly. The room was dark. Then he carefully took out a wooden box from the bottom of the bed. There was a thick layer of dust on the box. He found a rag to wipe it clean and slowly placed it on his bed.

This is an old wooden box. The vermilion paint on it has almost peeled off. It is not locked, but has a very strange brass buckle.

Liu Song opened the box with a little force, and there was a small white porcelain bottle lying quietly on the yellowed silk inside.

Liu Song hesitated for a moment, but finally took out the porcelain bottle and kept rubbing it in his hand.

After seeing this object, it reminded him of his grandfather. This thing in his hand is also the only thing that my grandfather left to himself before he died.

To be honest, he didn’t know what his grandfather did before for a long time. He rarely did farm work in the fields, and even when he did it, he wasn’t as efficient as other farmers.

He has been holding a big smoking gun in his mouth for many years and has nothing to do all day long. The only thing he has a good impression of his grandfather is when he was a child, his grandfather would always hold his hand and draw some pictures of birds and animals on the sand. The painting was vivid and vivid, which made him very happy. Maybe it was at that time that he was inspired to paint by his grandfather.

When he got older, his parents were strict with him, and his studies were too heavy, so his grandfather stopped painting with him. However, his desire to paint never faded, and he would secretly paint by himself and take pictures from time to time. Those works were shown to my grandfather, and it was only then that a smile appeared on his old face like orange peel.

About when he was in his second year of high school, his grandfather fell ill. When Liu Song got a call and rushed home, his parents said that his grandfather still had his last breath waiting for him.

The grief-stricken Liu Song knelt in front of his grandfather's bed, crying for a while. But he suddenly felt his grandfather's hand grabbing him fiercely, as if stuffing something into his hand, which was a little cold.

He looked at his grandfather again. There was only air coming out but no air coming in. However, he seemed to have unfinished words in his mouth. He put his ear to his ear and heard what he was saying intermittently: "If you like it, The girl...you just...smear this thing on the painting and let her see it...then...it will..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Song's grandfather died.

According to the custom in my hometown, the funeral lasts three days, so the whole family began to prepare for the old man's funeral.

Although Liu Song felt bad about his grandfather's death, he still took a quick look at the things in his hands in private.

A white porcelain bottle with no patterns on it. It was very ordinary. I opened the lid and poured some out into my hand. I found some white powder. I didn’t know what it was for.

Perhaps it was also the guidance of fate that Liu Song finally embarked on the path of being a painter. After entering college, out of longing for the old man, he always kept this gadget close to his body.

That is, when Suru was working as a model, looking at the goddess he had secretly loved for a long time, he used the things inside in a strange way.

The result was also unexpected for him. Suru's affection for him grew day by day, and she was completely pursuing him, begging him to be her boyfriend. You must know that he only used about one-tenth of the bottle. Thinking of this made his scalp numb.

When I returned to the dormitory, I quickly found a broken wooden box to hide this thing, and kept this secret deep in my heart.

But the cruelty of society and the unwillingness in his heart made him open it again, and he decided to sell it to Boss Wang.

Another time when Wang Fugui asked Liu Song out, he brought this magical porcelain vase. Maybe this thing will change his destiny!

At first, the shrewd Mr. Wang did not believe that there was such a ridiculous thing in the world, so Liu Song gave him about one-twentieth of the amount to do the experiment.

The next day, Mr. Wang found Liu Song early in the morning with a contract and his personal lawyer, and told Liu Song ecstatically.

He really used the method Liu Song gave him. He took his crude painting and asked the girl to give her some opinions. Unexpectedly, the girl said a lot to him for the first time, and he went up the stick again. Climbing, having dinner with a girl, and watching movies together were things he never dared to think about before.

So this time, he brought almost all of his capital with him. For fear that Liu Song would regret it, he also brought a contract and a lawyer.

When Liu Song saw the banknotes covering almost the entire bed, he felt a little dazed for a moment. The transaction was completed very happily, with one hand holding the money and the other hand delivering the goods. Wang Fugui walked away as if he had found a treasure, while Liu Song giggled while holding a pile of banknotes that he had never seen in his life.

When he sorted out the banknotes and deposited them into the bank in batches, it had been a whole day and he was very tired. He planned to have a good sleep and transfer them as soon as he got up tomorrow. Share this happy event with Suru and tell her that she will have a good life with him in the future.

When Liu Song woke up the next day, he dialed the familiar number on his cell phone, but the other end of the phone showed that he could not be reached, even after calling several times.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that Suru's phone might just be turned off. Then he called Wang Fugui, and the call was quickly connected. Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone was so happy that he couldn't express his joy and said that he must come and get to know his new wife.

The address is an ordinary restaurant. Mr. Wang said that he can only have this kind of spending power at the moment. Liu Song was also a person who had suffered a lot, so he didn't care. He bought a lot of things when he went there, as a way of congratulating Brother Wang for getting married!

After buying the things, I went straight to the place that Mr. Wang mentioned, pushed the door in, and immediately saw Yao Fugui sitting at the table with his back on his back. There was a petite figure next to him, leaning closely against him. He was looking at Wang Fugui, but the girl's figure was very familiar to him, and he had a vague foreboding in his heart!

When he walked over and saw the two of them, the expression on his face froze. The girl next to Wang Fugui was his girlfriend-Suru, a girl he had been with for many years.

But at this moment, Suru was clinging to the fat and ugly Boss Wang like a bird, without even looking at him, just like a passerby!

Liu Song recalled the past and saw the proud smile on Boss Wang’s face. He felt dizzy for a moment, his eyes went dark, and he fainted!
